Our first service back together was such a time of refreshing! A new day, a fresh start, yet still an amazing reminder of God's faithfulness and love for us.

Remember, we're going to do this every month! On the last Sunday of every month let's worship, let's come together, and be encouraged.

Next service: Sunday, July 25th at 7pm

Hey Young Adults, Pastor Kassey here! Have you been asking yourself some questions? Where Sanctus is heading in this season? After the Pandemic what will Sanctus look like? What does Sanctus Church look like under new leadership?

I want to invite you to consider attending an upcoming meeting that will speak about Sanctus’ Ministry Direction and a chance to hear from our new Senior Executive Pastor, Samuel Mills.

Here are details around our upcoming, online Ministry Directional Meeting (MDM) on Thursday, June 17th, 2021 at 7:30 PM.

This meeting will expand on the faithful providence of our Lord and how Sanctus is stepping forward in obedience.

Following the presentations from Jon Thompson, our new Senior Executive Pastor, Samuel Mills, our new Director of Operations, Lowell Hunking, and others, we will have a dedicated time for small group prayer before we adjourn. Please note that there will not be any live questions. We ask that you send any questions prior to the meeting. Questions can be emailed to the Board of Elders address provided below. Thank you for your understanding as we embrace the challenges of hosting such a large meeting online.

Below is the Zoom link for our online MDM. The initial virtual presentation will be made in the main room where we will all be gathered together. Following this presentation, we will be using Breakout Rooms to facilitate our dedicated time of small group prayer. Everyone in attendance will be evenly and randomly distributed to these rooms which will be led by one of our Elders or a Senior Pastor. Each of these leaders will adjourn within the small group; there will be no need to return to the main room to end our meeting. This time of prayer is an invitation for Sanctus Church to glorify the Lord and speak in unified thankfulness for His great provision and plans for this Church.

If you have any questions, please contact me or email [email protected].

Hi YA community,

I’m very excited to let you know that Pastor Kassey Dimaculangan is our new Young Adults Pastor! As you may know, Kassey has been the Port Perry Site Pastor for the past 2+ years and has been a part of the Sanctus community for several years prior to that. He is a wise and incredibly kind pastoral leader, and he is so excited for this new opportunity to serve you!

This will be a split role for Kassey, as he will continue to be the Port Perry Site Pastor while also taking over leadership of Young Adults. Of course, this will require Kassey to make some changes to his current work rhythms, but since the Port Perry site is now solidified in a permanent location and thriving healthily, he is uniquely positioned to take on significant additional responsibilities.

Our Senior Leadership Team is excited about the current model of Young Adults and it is their hope that we continue to cultivate a Connect Small-oriented, community focused experience. As Kassey helps to refine our approach, he will be spending lots of time meeting with our community so he can lead well in the direction Young Adults is already heading. If you would like to provide your input, he would be more than happy to arrange a time to talk with you. Please pray for him over the next few months, and feel free to share your input with him as he thinks, prays and plans.

You may also like to know that Pastor Joel Penney is now the Executive Pastor with direct oversight of Young Adults through Kassey. Some of you will know Joel well as he was the Young Adults Pastor at Sanctus for almost five years between 2012 and 2017. Between Kassey and Joel our Leadership Team is excited to have two proven, long-haul leaders who already understand the culture of our church and what our Young Adults community needs to thrive.

We are excited for this new season in our Young Adult community. Thank you for your patience, prayer, and input as we’ve navigated this important transition. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, Kassey ([email protected]) or Joel ([email protected]) at any time.

With you and for you,

Pastor Brent

Meet Kelly, our Prayer Room coordinator. Here's what she had to say about what Tuesday mornings have been like for her:

"I have been attending Sanctus for my whole life, but in the last couple of years I have gotten serious about pursuing the Lord. My relationship with Jesus has grown deeper and deeper as He has worked on my heart.

The Prayer Room has shown me new ways to expand my prayer life and given me a way to link all of the thoughts sitting in my heart. I love being able to connect with others throughout the week through prayer and see the ways in which the Lord is working, as we seek and praise Him."
